I thinking about flying (commercial) to see my mother in Mesa around the
time of the Monument Valley fly in. Who is still planning to attend? John if
it would make any difference I can be there with a car to shuttle people get
fuel as usual.

John, Since you have flown with both the 912UL and the 912S, other than economy
and speed, what other things have you noticed between these two engines? Can
you burn 87 oct in the 912S? I know that both engines can use 100LL, but I have
never used it since owning it. I've never seen a problem using 87 oct mogas.
In fact when changing the oil, I have seen bits of lead still coming out of the
engine from when Mark was using 100LL. The plugs are always clean and I decided
to change them every two years. I have never drained any water or phase separation
(the white matter of ethanol combined with water) when checking the
fuel before each flight. I would much rather use the mogas if offered a choice
and with gas prices the way they are, it's cheaper. Of course, when flying cross
country, there isn't much choice as not many airports offer mogas. When I
fly into Price County airport (PBH), they have mogas and it's cheaper than 100LL.
I go back and forth there to the cabin and make regular trips in the summer.
